It's a real rally held in 1939, but the way it's edited gives a certain 'spin' to its intent.

I noticed in the credits that screenwriter credit went to Winston Smith of the Records Department at the Ministry of Truth for deft use of the memory hole in setting the record straight in this fantastically compelling story ! Bravo.

Getting a nomination can be stressful.....
The Oscars gift bags are full of THC, CBD

Certainly THC will getcha high, but I just learned (from WebMD) that CBD, though extracted from marijuana buds has zero ability to get you high, and the only medical tests that have some correlation to helping you is with epilepsy. There are unsubstantiated claims for helping with anxiety.

“New” would be incorrect but “without the high” is. THC gives you the alcohol-like high, CBD fixes what medically ails you. These days you can easily get one or the other, or a combo of the two, at least wherever freedom reigns.

What makes CBD especially appealing is that it doesn’t get the user high. Most recreational marijuana users want this effect, of course, but many patients would rather avoid it. This has allowed CBD to sidestep many of the political, legal and medical concerns that have hindered the spread of medical marijuana.

“CBD has been a game-changer for medical marijuana,” says Martin Lee, the director of Project CBD, a Northern California nonprofit that promotes use of the compound. “Its safety and lack of psychoactivity undermines any argument that it should be illegal. It’s really shifted the national discussion on this issue.”
